In the wind and snow, Yelu Yixin was walking step by step on the Fengzen platform.

The felt crown can't stop the snowflakes, and the brocade robe can't resist the wind and cold, but it can't stop Yelu Yixin's pace towards the sun.

This day of wind and snow was the last time Yelu Yixin wore the clothes of a courtier.

In a few moments, when the identity is changed, the long-prepared Shili Xue Gon crown and sewing red robe will come in handy.

Step up the steps, and each step seems to have a thousand weights.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Like a heavy drum, like the sound of cannons.

The footsteps in the far away Fengzen platform did not come with a single sound, but it resounded in everyone's heart.

Yesterday, Yelu Yixin had just blasted the captured rebels into powder in front of thousands of courtiers, and today he ascended to the Fengzen platform.

It is the custom of the northern kingdom to use the blood of the enemy as a step to ascend the throne, and even though Yelu Yixin obtained the throne by usurpation, he took every step to the throne, and there was no shortage of souls under the stone steps of his feet.

There is nothing more orthodox than this, and nothing more orthodox.

In this way, he got the authority of Da Liao and became the emperor who ruled the territory of thousands of miles, and Yelu Yixin did not have the slightest weakness.

Every time you take the next step, you are as steady as Mount Tai.

……………………

He had long been accustomed to the wind sword and frost sword in the north, Xiao Shisan's eyes narrowed, and his gaze followed the figure that gradually walked up to the high platform.

After many years, it has finally come to this point.

Although there are more problems to be solved in the future, the biggest difficulty is only the Song people who will inevitably come to join the prison in the future. The Song people have coveted Xijing Road and Nanjing Road for a long time, and if they don't let Zen, the Song people will come, and if they let Zen, the Song people will also come. In that case, why bother with the Song army heading north.

As for the Song envoys who are already in the country, no matter how they deal with it, they will call, even if they are offered as ancestors, they will definitely be called; will not fight, even if they are all killed, the Song people will not send troops because of them.

-- A few envoys can only be a pretext for war, and will never be the cause of a war that will determine the fate of the two countries.

Whether the Song army will come or not, there are different opinions in the DPRK and China, even among Yelu Yixin's cronies, there are also different judgments. Xiao 13 didn't plan to guess, anyway, the Khitan soldiers were never afraid of war.

Fighting when you are plundering outside and fighting to protect your home are two different things.

If the Song people didn't understand this, Xiao Shisan was happy to tell them.

……………………

Zhang Xiaojie was watching with anticipation as Yelu Yixin walked onto the Fengzen platform.

The sky was cloudy, the snow was falling, the cold was everywhere, but the heart was hot.

It's as hot as iron slurry boiling.

Before he was ordered to build the Fengzen platform, after referring to the history books of the Song people, Zhang Xiaojie tried his best to do it perfectly.

He has been waiting for this day for a long time, and since he personally led people to clean up the wreckage of Emperor Xuanzong who was smashed into meat sauce, he has been wholeheartedly looking forward to Yelu Yixin becoming the emperor.

After today, he will no longer be a close confidant of the powerful minister, but an upright and important minister. In the past, as a prime minister, he was not valued by those old men in the accounts of the nation, but after today, who else dares to look down on him Yelu Xiaojie again?

There won't be anyone anymore......

Those who were disgruntled had long since been beaten to minced meat under the artillery. There is no weapon more suitable as a weapon than artillery as a means of execution, which one of the swords, guns and axes can achieve the effect of a single bombardment?

And this cannon was cast under the leadership of his Yelu Xiaojie.

I saw the debut of artillery yesterday, and I don't need to remind it, everyone knows that the prime minister of the Great Liaobei Courtyard is called Yelu Xiaojie!

……………………

How many are these?

Liu Xiao looked at the figure of ascending the Zen platform alone and thought.

Although only this time I saw it with my own eyes, it was not as rich as the experience of the courtiers in the fifth generation of the Southern Kingdom, but the usurpation of Yelu Yixin did not arouse Liu Xiao's emotions too much.

Since the founding of the Great Liao, the matter of fighting for the throne and seeking rebellion has never been broken.

What Jereethin is doing right now is just another time.

The difference from the previous struggle for the throne is that the person concerned is not Emperor Taizu, and his luck and patience are far better than those of the forerunners.

In the past, Emperor Taizu Yelu Abaoji died ten years after the dynasty, and Empress Shulu of Chunqin supported the second son Yelu Deguang to ascend the throne for Taizong. And the eldest son Yelubei, who should have been on the throne, avoided Hou Tang for the first time.

Later, Taizong Yelu Deguang died on the way back from the southern expedition, and Empress Chunqin chose her youngest son Li Hu to inherit the throne, and Yelu Ruan, the son of Yelu Bei, rebelled, defeated Li Hu, and put Empress Chunqin under house arrest, which was the second time for Sejong.

Later, Yelu Chage killed Emperor Sejong, and Yelu Jing was proclaimed to the throne, which was Muzong, but the title of 'Sleeping King' was more famous. Mu Zong reigned for 18 years, and was also killed by his courtiers, and Yeluxian, the second son of Sejong, was proclaimed, that is, Emperor Jingzong.

In the more than 50 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, no Son of Heaven has been enthroned in peace and security.

That is, Jingzong's eldest son, Shengzong, had the support of his mother, the Empress Dowager, so he was safe.

And the most recent rebellion for the throne was the rebellion of Yelu Chongyuan, the second son of the Holy Sect who started Yelu Yixin. From the eldest son of Shengzong, Emperor Xingzong, Emperor Yeluzong, to the emperor's uncle who was given by Xuanzong after his accession to the throne, Xingzong and Xuanzong said several times that they would pass the throne to Yelu Chongyuan, but they never fulfilled their promises.

At that time, the biological mother of Xingzong and Chongyuan, the Empress Dowager Fatian, planned to abolish the eldest son Xingzong and set up the second son Chongyuan instead, but Yelu Chongyuan took the initiative to denounce it, so as to avoid a chaos. In order to reward Chongyuan, Xingzong named him the emperor's younger brother and promised to pass it on to him, but he was still the last. Yelu Chongyuan was deceived so badly by his brother and nephew, and it was common sense for him to raise troops.

There are many failures, and although there are few successes, it is not impossible.

Emperor Sejong is an example, and the one who is walking towards the Zen stage in front of him is another recent example.

As for the rebellions, they are too many to count.

In order to prevent the expansion of their power, the court and the central government will also weaken the strength of each tribe as much as possible, and the cattle, sheep, horses, and camels that demand tribute every year must squeeze out the surplus power in the hands of each tribe.

Resentment accumulates year after year, and there is no year when there is no rebellion. However, the so-called rebellion, as soon as the army arrived, immediately collapsed. With hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen in charge, Da Liao never had to be afraid of rebellion, as long as the traitors did not have the strength to make a big scene.

Force determines everything, and those who are strong are the Son of Heaven, which is the general rule of the northern country.

Therefore, the Liu family has always been loyal to the Khitans, as long as the Song State cannot have an absolute victory to defeat the Khitan iron cavalry, then they will continue to be loyal servants of the Great Liao.

Adhering to the family motto, although Liu Xiao's two uncles were still the sons-in-law of Emperor Shengzong, he had no idea of being loyal to the orthodox emperor at all, as long as he surrendered to the victor. If the Khitans want to control the land of swallows, they must rely on their Han families. In that case, who is the emperor is not the same? On the contrary, it was the Song army that came, which made it impossible for the Liu family to maintain their current power.

- No matter what the standard, Liu Xiao didn't think that he could be a scholar in the Song National Examination. Without Jinshi, it would be difficult to be powerful in the Southern Dynasty. Liu Xiao and his family have always been very aware of this.

……………………

The stairs of the Zen Rangtai are only eighty-one levels, but they are so long that it seems that they will never reach the end.

But Jeruyisin finally came up.

At the top of the not very big Zen platform, there are several guards, a palace man, and in addition, the Son of Heaven.

The Great Liao Emperor is not yet ten years old, if the young lord of the Great Song Dynasty Zhao Xu is thin and weak in the womb, the young lord of the Liao State is sick and weak. Wearing a sacrificial dress from the time of the Son of Heaven's ceremony, his thin body barely supported the heavy crown.

On the Zen platform, the little emperor held the national seal wrapped in yellow silk with both hands, and he had been waiting for an hour, and his little face was blue from the cold.

Seeing that Yelu Yixin finally came to the stage, he immediately held the national seal in his arms high above the top with trembling hands.

Before the transfer of the national seal, the singer in the audience changed his tune as soon as he spoke, and the palace people who accompanied the little emperor also nervously stepped forward to remind him. But his movements were stopped by Yelu Yixin's gaze.

Yelu Yixin stepped forward and snatched the national seal with his hand, and couldn't wait.

He's been waiting too long, too long......

The little emperor, who was not yet ten years old, was so frightened by Yelu Yixin that he took two steps back, and fell down with a bang.

The palace people on the stage hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and began to take off the Tianzi clothes with golden crowns, white silk robes, and sewn black boots.

Yelu Yixin didn't pay attention to it at all, turned around, faced thousands of troops, civil and military ministers, and held the imperial seal wrapped in yellow silk high.

I forgot what the Hanchen said before, and Yelu Yixin forgot all of them.

The edicts and articles written by the Han ministers for today's Chan Rang, four characters and one sentence, six characters and one sentence, look very neat, but they can be read softly, what is the meaning?

What has to be done has been done a long time ago, and what has been said has been said with artillery, the last step, and there is no need for any red tape, and if he misses a few words of nonsense, can't he be the emperor?!

Yelu Yixin doesn't believe in a bunch of nonsense, which is more convincing than martial arts and wealth.

Get the national seal, put on the crown, reward the hundred officials and the three armies, and then give amnesty to the world, the most reluctant...... It is to wait for the arrival of the Song army.

That's the order of things to do.

Holding the national seal, his eyes suddenly brightened, and the long-lost sunlight made Yelu Yixin's eyes narrow.

I don't know when, the snow stopped, the wind stopped, and a ray of sunlight shone through the cracks in the clouds, shining on the Fengzen platform and on Yelu Yixin's body.

Countless people were dumbfounded, could it be that Yelu Yixin really returned to his destiny.

I don't know who was the first to shout Banzai, but a moment later, thousands of troops and horses were letting out a roar that resounded through the sky.

Tens of millions of miles of land in the north of the continent, on this day, changed a new owner.
